✈ Travel is my passion; creating inspiring and creative videos and photographs is my profession. Social Media is the way I connect with the world and share both.

✈ In 2010, I created, produced, shot, and edited a TV show about Social Media and Travel called GoingSocialTV. Content featured destinations around the world and interviews with unique people and companies in the travel industry that are using social media in innovative ways for marketing, new business development, and social interaction. The show was aired for 5 months on DirecTV. The name was changed to earthXplorerTV in Oct 2012 and is a mix of travel, adventure and informative videos from around the world.

㋡ In 2007, I was hired as a Senior Producer/Editor with the original team that launched Plum TV Ch 5 in Miami Beach. I was the director of Plum TV’s morning show, “Daybreak,” and I produced numerous documentaries about unique people and places in South Florida. I developed and produced an eleven episode cooking show entitled “Compliments of the Chef,” and participated in exclusive coverage of Art Basel Miami Beach and The South Beach Food & Wine Festival.

✌ More than 20 years traveling around the globe (90 countries across all 7 continents), creating, shooting, and editing travel/tourism videos for various cruise lines, airlines, DMO's, tourist boards & television networks.
Some of my favorite memories include standing on the locks of the Panama Canal, traveling 800 feet below the ocean’s surface in a 2 man submarine, filming everything from landscapes to skyscrapers from a helicopter, trekking among the Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda, watching one of the last NASA shuttle launches, and participating in yacht races in the Caribbean…all the while capturing the beauty of these places through video and photographs.
